Too Fast

Watching the leaves fall, Dreading the end of summer. Seasons flee too fast.

In Scotland, it feels as if we have moved from Spring into Autumn. And yes, the seasons do pass so fast >> James

It depends where you live. Here, in Southern California I miss the four seasons of my childhood. ...or maybe I forgot the coolness of winter...

Smile ~ "What is there to fear, but fear itself." ~ Take for example the Martyrs; giving their lives sometimes within excruciating fashions in exchange for an eternal hope....Smile, I guess they call that "Faith" ~ Smile, "I Love The Beautiful Depth & Reflections of Your Priceless Soul Dear Francine;" almost always so very clearly apparent amid "Your Gifted Verse" ~ ....Cont:)

Smile ~ "What A Lovely & Somewhat Deep Write Dear Gifted & Precious Francine Roberts;" and I do agree with Carolyn below for seasons often do seem to come and go so very quickly ~ And yet for myself actually dear, Autumn has Always been my very favourite season of all; given the holidays and so forth ~ And also this write causes myself to consider an old saying for some reason ~ ....Cont:)

The older we get, the faster the seasons seem to spin past. Visit me in Florida where it's like summer 9 months of the year, Francine! Or maybe I can just send some sunshine your way. Enjoyed your haiku! Love, Carolyn
